"Love?" or "Love."
Full. Whole. Complete. What does it mean to feel complete? Would you know it if you had it—that sense of wholeness? Of course, you would. The sad part is that many of us go to others to help us achieve wholeness when we should be learning to be whole for ourselves, by ourselves. Maybe it’s a lack of balance. It’s tough trying to keep everything aligned. Bills, kids, cleaning, and maintaining. There’s work life, home life, and “free” life. Free life is the time you give yourself to live and have fun without worry or stress over everything else listed, and whatever else is involved.

Self-love and Lack Thereof!
Self-love and Lack Thereof Can you love someone even if you don’t love yourself? Unpopular opinion--yes, you can, but let me tell you why you shouldn’t. First, what do you know about love? If you loved yourself, then you’d already know the answer. “Why is it not okay to love someone if you don’t love yourself?” Now, I didn’t say it wasn’t--I said you shouldn’t. When you love someone before yourself, you ultimately give them the power over you to retrieve what you believe is love and because you want their love for selfish gain. You have love to give, but how would you know that? You do anything and everything for the love that you lack. You give yourself; light. You give your light away rather than spread your love, thinking that it’s love. If you truly loved yourself, then you’d respect yourself enough to withstand any negative feedback putting out your light from someone who lacks it.
